The body is the external coating and the mind is the internal coating of the Atman who is the real perceiver, the real enjoyer, the being in the body who is working the body by means of the internal organ or the mind.
The body is subject to the law of growth and decay, what grows must of necessity decay.
The body is our enemy, and yet is our friend.
The body is mortal and the mind is mortal; both, being compounds, must die.
The body cannot be the soul.
The body and mind are dependent.
No two persons have the same mind or the same body.
It is the want that creates the body.
It is a constant change. Not one body is constant.
In this body, He resides, the Lord of souls and the King of kings.
Get rid of the bondage of body; we have become slaves to it and learnt to hug our chains and love our slavery; so much so that we long to perpetuate it, and go on with "body" "body" for ever. Do not cling to the idea of "body", do not look for a future existence in any way like this one; do not love or want the body, even of those dear to us.
Bodies come and go, but the soul does not change.
Body is the name of a stream of matter continuously changing.
Body is the name of a series of changes.
